Winter Rainbow Salad - A Colourful Winter Blues Remedy

Do you ever find yourself craving colour in the middle of winter? I tend to engorge myself in hearty winter dishes when winter first hits, stews, meatloafs, roasts, they all make my mouth water and my stomach and heart sing, until that fatal day where I just can't stand another bland looking, although brilliantly tasting, dish.

When I get that sudden urge for colour, I make the winter rainbow salat, it's not quite a rainbow in its colours, but it's good enough for me with purple, white, green, brown and orange.

I want to stress that this is not a medicinal remedy for any kind of serious depression, but a colourful pick-me-up for those of us suffering of a very mild case of the winter blues. On the other hand, unless you are allergic to the ingredients I don't think it could do you any harm. Use common sense, ask your doctor and all that jazz.

I like the sound of this salad and will have to try it. I am not sure about the oranges in it, personally, but I may find something to substitute them with.

My favourite thing to cook in the winter is a very spicy jambalaya full of juicy prawns. I found the recipe in my low fat - no fat cook book and it is a staple in our household. There are so many warming spices in it and it is colourful, so it is just the right thing.
